SCPI Instrument Command List
Description
In query form, this command reads the last key pressed. The buffer is
emptied by *RST and returns the value -1 when empty.
In set form, the command simulates pressing a key on the frontpanel.
Simulated key-press are also recorded as the last key pressed.
NOTE
:SYST:KEY 19
sets the instrument to LOCAL mode.
1. In remote mode only the softkeys under the display and the SHIFT
(LOCAL) key are active. Since the instrument normally switches to
remote mode when any command is received, including
:SYSTem:KEY
, simulating one of the other disabled keys has no
effect.
2. If you want to simulate full frontpanel operation, you must prevent
the instrument from entering remote mode by using the REN line of
the GP-IB to maintain local mode (LOCAL 7 in BASIC).
If you do this, the
:SYSTem:KEY
command is the only command which
works. Any other commands will be buffered in the instrument blocking
any further
:SYSTem:KEY
commands, until remote mode is enable.
